This is the story of the Warman and District Concerned Citizens Group, a rural Saskatchewan "David" that faced off with the "giant" and won. In the summer of 1976, farm people from the mostly Mennonite town 18 kilometers north of Saskatoon became aware that a provincial crown corporation was trying to buy land in the area with the intent of building a uranium refinery for Eldorado Nuclear Ltd. Usually industry has its way in rural areas, riding roughshod over the wishes of small communities, but this time it did not. David did not slay the giant, but he did chase him away. Democracy prevailed over capitalism.
